CREATE-A-SCENE(roses) stencil Cards

This is my first card:

To begin with, I took Craftyscrappers Premium white card stock and colored inks (Whichever available in my stash… you can see that I have clubbed the distress inks along with distress oxide) suitable for layering the flowers and the leaves.

Once the layering was done, I fussy cut all the flowers and the leaves. and kept aside.

Next, I started assembling them to make the card.For the first card, I took three florals and few leaves. On a 4×6 side folding white card base, I adhered the first flower and a leaf directly onto it using liquid adhesive.

Then I started layering the remaining elements using some foam adhesive.

Once the layering was done, I used the sentiment from Craftyscrappers mini Bloom stamp set.

Added a few sequins from my stash and lastly added some fine details using a fine black marker and finished my card.

Here are some of the close ups:

This is my Second card:

For my second card, I had just one flower and few leaves left. So I made a small 4″x4″ notecard. On a white card, I repeatedly stamped the sentiment from the Damask stamp set using grey ink.

Next, I arranged the flower and the leaves on the card. Layered few of them with foam adhesive to create some dimension to the card.

Lastly, added some fine details (Visible in close-ups) to the card using Nuvo drops. and finished my card.

So be sure to check to check out my next card tutorial that i will be sharing tomorrow using Craftyscrappers “Buzzing by to say Hi” stamp set and I will be back soon for more inspirations!

some more close-ups:

I took empty deodorant bottle, glued bottle cap so that it won’t get opened and applied “Greasy Charcoal” chalk paint using palette knife.
(Using palette knife to apply paint is one of my favorite way to create texture).

I wrapped stencil called “Geometrical patterns” around the bottle and secure the stencil edges using masking tape.

I used Craftyscrappers shimmer paste “Jet” to create texture through stencil and also applied this paste on empty spaces of bottle just to put everything together.

Glued down metal leaves and wrapped thread around the bottle cap & also added metal handle.

Hi , this is Pratima Diwan, winner of Craftyscrappers Challenge#20″Love is in the air” and today i am so happy to be on Craftyscrappers blog, to share with you all, 4 of the cards that i created as a Guest Designer here.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

“I am from Delhi. I am a qualified postgraduate engineer. I am a mother of three children and an entrepreneur . I started crafting couple of years ago in my free time. I am now a passionate crafter and hope to start my own crafting venture soon. Frankly speaking I am not into crafting since my childhood. But some how colours have always fascinated me.I remember how I used to create handmade greeting cards, envelopes and wall decors in my childhood. I think it is in my genes. My mom has been my inspiration. She used to knit sweaters and embroidered to add personalized touch to whatever she created.I am a self taught crafter and I am very passionate about it. I recently took few professional classes as well. My work has found home in many states of India.”

MY CRAFTING STYLE:

I do not have any favourite crafting style but I love to create different things with my personalized touch to make it different from other creations. Whenever I get an order I request my costumer to allow me to experiment with it in my own way.Though I do not get much time to craft but you can always find time for something you love. I hardly watch T.V or hang around with friends . I choose to craft whatever time I get.

MY INSPIRATION:

As i mentioned above that my parents and my sister have been my biggest inspiration as they have always encouraged me.My kids and my husband has always appreciated my work . When I started crafting there were very few people in India who actually motivated me. To name few I was most influenced by the work of :

Craftyscrappers has versatile range of products and I have been following craftyscrappers from past few months. They have beautiful collection of stamps and stencils and the best part is that they customize the stamp and stencil size according to our needs . It’s our own “Made in India “Brand and I have always taken pride in the products made in my own country and I always prefer to encourage the entrepreneurs from my own country . When they are working hard day and night to give us quality products of international standards then it is our duty to encourage them by taking pride in whatever good they are doing . I love their variety in designs and the themes of stamps which include Indian festival stamps as well . Moreover craftyscrappers provides us a great platform to showcase our talent with the world.

Hello Crafty peeps! This is Konica and I am back at craftyscrappers blog today on behalf of all our Talented and hardworking DTs, with their fabulous inspiration projects which is based on,
“FESTIVAL OF COLORS” theme to inspire you all with the current challenge.

In this step I distressed the torn parts using “Greasy Charcoal” chalk paint, this way pages will have depth and I also stamped dotted pattern stamp around the torn area, for this I used “INSPIRE” stamp set, I follow this stamping process for all the 4 pages. (for reference have a look on final page)

Distress all the 4 pages using black ink and glue them together but instead of using foam tape, I used chipboard so that it will have dimensional look.

I stamped girl image from “Happy HOLI” Stamp set, Colored it using watercolor and fussy cut the image & place it on the page as if that girl is coming from colored layers (That’s what my concept was) To lift up the girl image I used 2 to 3 layers of chipboard behind it.

I also spread silver glitter behind the girl image and to the front page I spread just a little amount of “Tinted Gold” shimmer paste using palette knife to add shine and sparkly look,

After this I stamped the quote (saying) stamp image from “HOLI” Stamp set, Fussy cut that image and adhere on the page using double sided foam tape.

Later on this page added flat back gems randomly to have a elegant look, And Voila!!! our multi-page Art journal spread is complete.

(MIXED MEDIA TAG)

A Brief tutorial(MIXED MEDIA TAG)

I took Packaging cardboard and made cut-out of tag of 5 inches by 3 inches and glue down broken brush head on it.

Then I paste metal butterfly just to hide broken part of brush and also added sea-shells, art stones and micro beads. (Seed beads, micro beads, art stone works as a filler and also

In this step I covered entire tag with gesso and after gesso dries completely.

On a stitched textured white CS, at the top I carefully stamped the Splash image three times overlapping them from the Celebration Holistamp set using Different DI and slightly spritzed it with water bottle. Love the faded dripping colorful result. Then once again I stamped those splashes using same DI for the good impact result.

Die cut a scalloped circle out of black CS and black foam sheet.

In the center I created my own sentiment using same stamp set again, this stamp set included so many cute text sentiments!

You Fill My Days With in jet black Archival ink and Colors in using different DI.

Now placed all the elements to create my colorful festive scene with fun using foam dots.

In the end, placed this panel on a colorful Plaid PP and adhered it on a white CS. And slightly applied some tinted gold SHIMMER PASTE for glittery impact with my brush for little sparkle.

GLTTER-ED AND COLORFUL SWEET WISHES CARD

No festival can complete without sweets so here is a colorful background card with sweet Gunjiyas and sparkly splashes!

STRETCHING THE STAMPS IN A CREATIVE WAY : A CARD & TAGSBy DT Member

Today I have a fun and colorful project to inspire you all for the current Craftyscrappers Challenge.

I have tried stretching my stamps in a very extraordinary way.The stamp set was designed for Holi festival but now as the festival is over I was confused how to make something out of it and that’s where this technique of stretching the stamps clicked to me.

STRETCHING THE STAMPS IN A CREATIVE WAY : A CARD

A Brief tutorial

I have used the triangle geometric shape in the stamp set,”Celebrate Holi” which was actually representing gulal(Holi Powdered color) on the stamp set to create my background first with Distress oxide inks in various colors.

After that I have used You die and made a diecut on the finished background.

Took that diecut out and replaced it with same white cardstock diecuts thrice,

But before moving to my cards, let me share with you my MARCH DT KIT’2018 that I received:

I have got some cute stamps, so many stencils, some beautiful shimmer colour sprays and gold shimmer paste along with Craftyscrappers Card stock.

But before I start, let me tell you our challenge for the month of MARCH is ongoing, if you have missed the previous post check it out here:

To start with, Firstly I distress inked the background with yellow distress ink and then overlapped the inked background with stencil and inked it with another colour as shown in below pics.

I repeated the step 1 using different distress inks till the end of my card stock. And it created a beautiful abstract background.. I really loved the outcome..
